Nursing is one of the noblest jobs in this world, at the same time, one of the most difficult. Taking care of someone who can’t take care of himself is a hard, emotional and challenging job which asks for devotion and patience. Many times, we don’t know what taking care of someone means and what are the responsibilities of the people who take care of somebody.
Luckily, this is the book we need in order to be better in nursing. This book explains how to deal with sick people, covers the basics of hygiene and offers tips about surviving hospital experience.
In this book, you will find a collection of notes that are an important part of nursing and the understanding of it. These notes are not written with the intention to be rules of nursing, but just to help the people who take care of somebody and point out to specific things.
